Hong Kong[note 3] (Chinese: 香港) is one of two special administrative regions (SAR) of the People's Republic of China; the other is Macau. Situated on China's south coast and enclosed by the Pearl River Delta and South China Sea,[5] it is renowned for its expansive skyline and deep natural harbour. With a land mass of 1,104 km2 (426 sq mi) and a population of seven million people, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world.[6] Hong Kong's population is 95% ethnic Chinese and 5% from other groups.[7] Hong Kong's Han Chinese majority originate mainly from the cities of Guangzhou and Taishan in the neighbouring Guangdong province.[8]
Under the principle of "one country, two systems", Hong Kong's economic and political systems differ from those of mainland China.[9] Hong Kong is one of the world's leading international financial centres, with a major capitalist service economy characterised by low taxation and free trade. Under colonial rule, it espoused minimum government intervention under the ethos of positive non-interventionism.[10] The Hong Kong dollar is the 9th most traded currency in the world
